Equity Arc on "60 MINUTES"

On May 4, 2025, Equity Arc was set to present a wind symphony concert with the U.S. Marine Band “The President’s Own”(USMB). That concert, which would have been the culminating event of a multi-day intensive learning experience between the students and “The President’s Own” was cancelled in mid-February due to the recent presidential executive order entitled “Ending Radical and Wasteful DEI Programs and Preferencing.”


In the wake of that cancellation, we reached out to retired members of the premier military and military academy bands to recreate both the mentoring and performing experiences for the students. We planned and executed this reimagined event together in a matter of days. Equity Arc granted CBS’ 60 Minutes access to capture the full experience.


Please check out the "60 Minutes" video. It's inspiring...
